HYGIENE.

Adjunct Professor Davis.

In this course the chemical and bacterial contamination of food, water,
air and soil first engages the attention of the student. With this preparation
he takes up the natural history of contagious and infectious diseases,
their modes of propagation and methods of prevention. Instruction is also
given in the proper location and construction of habitations, hospitals, schoolhouses,
etc., with especial reference to modern methods of heating, ventilating
and draining. Notice is taken of the special relations involved in
Military and Naval Hygiene.
